Chapter 839 Before dying, he just wanted to love once more
Inside the palace gate, Baili Mo Shen stood on the left Yintai Gate, and his eyes met with Baili Mo Yan below.
"Fifth brother, Ninth brother really underestimated you! It turns out that you are the most hidden person in this palace!!"
They had always thought that King Zhao Baili Moshen was of humble origin and could not cause any big trouble, so almost everyone ignored his existence and regarded him as a completely non-threatening person.
Baili Moyan never imagined that after Old Seven was lured out of the capital by the Four-Nation Alliance, there was actually someone who could stop him, and this person was his fifth brother whom he never took seriously!
"Ninth brother, lay down your weapon. Father may still spare your life!"
Baili Moshen ignored his nonsense and went straight to the point, wanting Baili Moyan to give up forcing the emperor to abdicate.
"Put down your weapons? Hahaha!" Baili Moyan laughed heartily, his voice full of obvious contempt. "Fifth brother, is Father going to die?"
"You're seizing control of the palace and preventing my ninth brother from entering to see the Emperor. Do you intend to force the Emperor to abdicate so you can rule the world? If so, then my ninth brother will have to 'come to the Emperor's rescue!'"
Baili Moshen didn't fall for his trick and pretended not to hear what he said. He just said, "Since Ninth Brother is unwilling to lay down his arms and wants to continue his treasonous plan, then don't blame Fifth Brother for not respecting brotherhood!"
Baili Moshen gave a direct order to mobilize all the imperial guards, open the Zuo Yintai Gate, and let all the rebels into the Daming Palace.
There, he set up a dragnet!
"The palace gate has been broken open! Everyone, charge!"
"The opportunity to achieve great achievements and become a noble or prime minister has arrived! Soldiers, fight with all your might! We will be the next founding heroes!!"
No one knew who was shouting among the rebels, but it really made their blood boil, as if they had seen the day when they would be made dukes and prime ministers.
However, as soon as they entered the gate of Daming Palace, they were shot to death by countless arrows.
Screams rang out in front of the palace gate, and the sound was so loud that it reached the Taiqing Palace behind the Daming Palace.
The queen stood at the door of Taiqing Palace, listening to the fighting and screams outside, her heart felt cold.
This is the tragedy and cruelty of the struggle for the throne!
No one knows how many dead bones and wronged souls are lying beneath this high and mighty position. However, this golden throne, forged with the blood of countless people, still stands firmly at the highest position in the course of hundreds of years of history. Everyone desires it and dreams of it.
This is absolute monarchy...
"Cough cough cough..."
A weak cough was heard in the hall, and Emperor Qiwen had woken up.
The eunuch from the Taiqing Palace quickly came to report: "Empress, the Emperor has woken up!"
The Queen said nothing, nor did she react. She had woken up, and now, there was no longer any affection between them, and there was no need for them to meet again.
At this time, another young eunuch came in and announced: "Empress, the Emperor invites you."
The queen turned slightly and found that the sound of fighting was closer.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and decided to go in and meet him.
She also wanted to ask him why he gave her the "Postponement Book".
Emperor Qiwen's hair had turned even whiter, and he looked deathly dead, as if he would not live long.
She stood opposite him and smiled coldly, "Baili Fengjue, now, do you believe in retribution?"
He has been separated from his wife and children, and abandoned by his friends and relatives. This is all due to what he has done over the years.
Of course he heard her sarcasm and ridicule, but he did not refute it because that was an indisputable fact.
"Old Nine has taken action?"
He spoke softly, but his voice was unusually hoarse and heavy, like the sound of broken rubble scraping against a dead tree, obscure and unpleasant to the ear.
The queen's eyes changed slightly. Looking at this man who was almost completely different from the man in her memory, a slight pain flashed through her heart.
She concealed her inner strangeness and said coldly: "Shouldn't this all be attributed to you?"
"You killed two of your eight sons with your own hands. As for the remaining ones, you either let them kill each other or fostered their ambitions. Now, they are either dead or dying...Are you satisfied with this situation?"
Emperor Qiwen lowered his eyes, his eyes full of fatigue.
Yes, this is a situation he created.
But he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
At first, he thought that since the second and seventh sons were gone, he could choose between the fourth and ninth sons.
Later, the eighth brother somehow inherited some of the support from the second brother, so he thought about choosing one of the three of them.
But he didn't expect that as soon as Lao Qi came back, he turned Kyoto upside down, making everything go in a direction completely beyond his control.
Now it seems that the thing he regrets most is that he spared Lao Qi's life and allowed him to return to Kyoto...
"The struggle for the throne has always been brutal. Wasn't that how we all fought back then?"
"Same?" The Queen couldn't help but sneer and scoff at this. "Back then, when you were just an ordinary prince, the Crown Prince was wary of your talent, so he sent people to assassinate you and frame you. I and those people in the martial arts world helped you because you stood on the side of justice!"
"Anyone with a conscience knows that the position of ruler of the world should never be given to someone with evil intentions!"
They will help him and help him ascend the throne because he once played the same role and was in the same situation as the "second brother"!
"The trajectory of this world is always surprisingly similar. Back then, we helped you overthrow the former Crown Prince Baili Fengming, and now, the Seventh Brother has overthrown you for the Second Brother... Tell me, is this reincarnation? A retribution?"
These words made Emperor Qiwen's eyes flash with fear.
Is that right?
Has he become a person like Baili Fengming?
"I thought 'Letter After' was a sign of your sudden awakening, but now it seems that's not the case."
He was silent and said nothing.
The Queen looked at him in confusion, her heart filled with doubt. She asked, "Why did you change the 'Decree of the Empress' to 'Decree of the Empress'? What other plans do you have in mind?"
"Baili Fengjue, you should know that you don't have much time left. No matter what plans you have, there is no possibility of implementing them!"
Emperor Qiwen chuckled, his voice filled with desolation and disappointment, "Do you think that there was some other purpose behind posting the letter?"
"if not?"
"Ever since Xun'er's death, everything I've done has indeed had ulterior motives, but..."
But this one thing was the only motivation for him to wake up from his coma.
He really wanted to let her go.
He had done a lot of wrong things, but he could not deny that he had truly and passionately loved her.
That love had been dormant for a long time, and he had ignored it for a long time. Before he died, he just wanted to love again...
He leaned on the dragon bed, looking like a haggard old man in his seventies or eighties, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Shu He said you were poisoned..."
He nodded, as if he knew about it.
"Elixir of Life."
